oh absolutely, also seems pertinent that Ash and Pikachu are being "retired" after 25 years.
I grew up coming home from school and eating a snack while watching Pokemon before starting my homework.
Growing up and seeing Ash and Pikachu almost every day for ~15 years builds another kind of connection that you don't get from a lot of these "quick" 3-5 season shows on Netflix, even if you do relate to the characters.

I think you're trying to read between the lines when there's nothing there.
I'm absolutely not "harshing" any shorter shows, I watch many of them myself. I'm simply agreeing with OP and using Pokemon as an example of a show that's gone on for a long/extended period of time.
